One scandal that sends many lives topsy turvy. Priyamani's upcoming web series Good Wife is expected to revolve around a lawyer-turned-homemaker who dons the gown once again when her husband, played by Sampath Raj, is entangled in a public sex and political corruption scandal.
The teaser promises an intense legal drama surrounding the issue and Priyamani's endeavours to get her husband and family's name out of the issue. The series, which will stream on JioHotstar, is directed by noted actor-director Revathy.
An official adaptation of the American legal-political drama The Good Wife (2009-2016), this upcoming series will mark Revathy's foray into the web series format. Apart from Priyamani, the series will also feature Aari Arujunan in a prominent role. Further cast details and a release date are yet to be revealed by the makers.
The original series, created by Robert and Michelle King, starred Julianna Margulies as Alicia Florrick whose husband Peter (Chris Noth), the former Cook County, Illinois State's Attorney, has been jailed following a notorious political corruption and sex scandal.
Revathy's directorial debut was back in 2002 with the English language film Mitr, My Friend, which went on to win the Best English Film of the Year award at the 49th National Film Awards. Her last directorial was the 2022 Hindi film Salaam Venky, which starred Kajol and Vishal Jethwa in the lead roles. Good Wife will be her sixth directorial.
